Description

Carlos and Peter hop on the draft podcast to dig deeper into reader draft questions. What’s our degree of confidence in the top shortstops sticking at the position and how would we line them up? Which are our favorite prospects in each major demographic? Would a team tank on a top 10 pick this year to get one in the 2026 class? Will the Orioles draft a pitcher in the top 30? Should the Mariners draft a bat at No. 3? And which of the Indiana outfielders do we prefer?
